It is the point where all information from the body and its environment is collected and processed into reactions and memories. Everything we think, say or do is controlled by the brain, as are processes that occur without our conscious input, such as understanding what we are seeing or hearing, feeling joy or fear, or recognizing danger. Whether we are recording first impressions, experiencing music or testing our mind with poker, the researching into the human brain is an even greater scientific challenge than decoding the human genome.
